![]() ![]() Having an exclusive key profile can also be useful if an eventual attack against the Abloy Protec is found. The Ruby Exclusive is a very secure level of key control giving peace of mind to even the most worried lock owner. A Protec Elite key will not even fit in a Ruby Exclusive lock. Our Ruby Exclusive key profile is a key blank that is only issued to us, which removes the option for another Abloy dealer to duplicate your ruby key as they do not have access to the key blanks. This is a slight security risk as it does mean they could duplicate a Protec/Protec2 Elite key if they wanted to (but they would break their contract with Abloy in doing so and we have yet to hear of a dealer doing so). Technically, with the standard Protec Elite key profile, all Abloy Protec/Protec2 dealers in the US have access to this key blank. Legally the Protec Elite and Ruby Exclusive key profiles have the same level of key control, no dealer other than the dealer who originally issued the keys (or the Factory) can cut more keys. ![]() Next you have a choice of key profile, the key profile of a lock primarily is an issue of key control. To order a lock in the Abloy Protec2 you must select a key profile that has the number 2 in its name (ie "Protec2 Elite" or "Ruby2 Exclusive"). For more information on the Protec1 verse the Protec2 please see our Abloy Brand Information page. First you must decide which system you would like to buy, most locks are available in both systems. For more details please see our Abloy Brand Information page.Ībloy currently has two different systems of locks the Abloy Protec2 and the Abloy Protec. ![]() To order locks in the Protec2 system select “Protec 2 Elite” under key profile on the product options. The primary features include minor additional drill resistance, harder to copy keys with an interactive element and an extended patent through 2031. The Abloy Protec2 was introduced in December of 2012 and it makes some refinements to the Abloy Protec system. Virtually all Abloy locks can be keyed to work with the same set of keys. It has one of the largest key spaces of any high security system with over 2 billion possible keys. It is well respected as one of the top of the line high security locks in the world. It is completely bump proof and extremely pick resistant (no known picking attacks have been successful).
